REMEMBERING THE SNOW

The last time it snowed was just before Christmas. Although only a thin layer covered the ground nature looked magical and dreamlike. This blanket of white transforms the landscapes and brings calm in our hearts. Suddenly you feel as if in a contemplative reverie and life seems much more enjoyable.

Unfortunately the weather has changed lately and I feel very nostalgic when I think about snow-covered sceneries and the exhalirating snowfalls we had in November and December. All this appears not to be real now that the days are depressingly grey, boringly uniform and we are experiencing warm weather as well as continuous rain...

Here are a few clicks which I took just before Xmas. The area you see is not far from my home (10 minutes). On this very day, it was bitter cold, but the sun was shining bright. A frosty and beautiful winter day, just as I like them!

Beautiful pictures, Rosa! We had snow during Christmas too and after that .. NOTHING! I was so disappointed, unlike many, I like the peace that settles with the white soft snow blanketing the ground, feels like winter! Thankfully we had snow 2 days ago and I'm happy :)

I happened upon your blog in a quest for a recipe for Gâteau à la Crème. Yum... your recipe looks perfect! I posted a link to your blog on my own blog today. I hope that is ok with you. I gave you all the credit, naturally.

Where I live, we FINALLY got a snowstorm on Monday and have had that beautiful blanket of snow on the ground all week. It's been nice and I am enjoying it while it lasts, it might be the only one this winter!
